topic Headphones cable question... in Getting started with Vivehttp://community.viveport.com/t5/Getting-started-with-Vive/Headphones-cable-question/m-p/14553#M494
<P>So, I was thinking to get myself a good headphones to use with both PC and when using Vive. Those that I have on my PC are old, and in-ear sennheiser headphones that I'm using for Vive, while very good, always pop out of my ears. Especially when playing&nbsp;something active.</P><P>I did a research, and end up picking Sennheiser Game One as a potential candidate. However, I have one question that I couldn't find an answer for.</P><P>Those headhpones have two cables -&nbsp;<SPAN>2x3.5 mm (PC/Mac)&nbsp;and&nbsp;1x3.5 mm (Console). The console one is shorter (1m). And I want to know if it is compatible with Vive? Because I wouldn't want to use the other cable - it's 3.2 meters long.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>In theory, it should work, because Vive has only one 3.5 mm jack anyway. But I need to know for sure, before spending money.</SPAN></P>Sat, 13 Jan 2018 15:09:52 GMTKligan2018-01-13T15:09:52ZHeadphones cable question...http://community.viveport.com/t5/Getting-started-with-Vive/Headphones-cable-question/m-p/14553#M494

<P>You would be able to use any 3.5mm Headset with the vive using the included 3.5mm jack that comes from the top.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>the PC version of 2X 3.5 is for having seperate audio and chat channels, but the Vive only allows an audio chanel due to its built in microphone.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You can use the headphones for audio yes. But you cannot use them for the mic, youd need a far different setup to accomplish that.</P>Mon, 15 Jan 2018 19:45:43 GMThttp://community.viveport.com/t5/Getting-started-with-Vive/Headphones-cable-question/m-p/14606#M495ExplodingXMango2018-01-15T19:45:43Z
